The Ibis Styles Roma Art Noba is a contemporary three-pearl hotel with an artistic flair and stylish interiors. Located outside of the city center, it's far from Rome's top sights and thus best for travelers who are comfortable using public transportation and appreciate being in a local neighborhood. The hotel has a cafe and bar that serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as cocktails. Business travelers are catered to with multiple meeting spaces and a computer work station. The hotel's 72 rooms are just as stylish as the common areas and include minibars and flat-screen TVs, plus some have private balconies. Travelers seeking a similarly trendy hotel closer to the city center could consider the Condotti Palace.
Scene
Chain hotel with artistic and fun decor that caters to families and couples
The Ibis Styles Roma Art Noba opened in 2010 and has a surprisingly fun and spiffy modern style for a chain hotel. Stylish interiors feature bold color schemes like the black, white, and fuchsia of the lobby, as well as floral-patterned walls, geometric-shaped designs on floors, and modern furniture. The hotel's cafe/bar and breakfast room feature bright pink walls paired with paisley-patterned wallpaper accents as well as white tables and chairs illuminated by large hanging pendant lamps. The hotel draws mostly couples and families, but there are a significant amount of business travelers as well using the meeting spaces.
Location
Residential neighborhood far from city center, but close to a subway and train station
This hotel is best for travelers who wish to stay in a local neighborhood and don't mind being on the outskirts of Rome. The nearest subway station, Libia, is a 13-minute walk away, while the Nomentana train station (which connects to the airport) is a six-minute walk, plus there's a bus stop at the end of its block. There are a couple of shops, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. More shopping can be found on Viale Libia, an 11-minute walk from the hotel. Most top attractions, such as the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain, can be reached in about 30 to 45 minutes via public transportation. Leonardo da Vinci International Airport can be reached in about 35 to 45 minutes by car.
Rooms
Sleek, contemporary rooms with air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs; some with private balconies

All rooms are fairly spacious and have a sleek, contemporary look, with gray walls and curtains, dark gray circle-patterned carpets, black and white-patterned chairs, and bright green or zebra-print bed runners. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and safes, plus some also have coffee/tea facilities, stocked minibars, and private balconies. Stylish, black and white bathrooms feature funky patterned accent walls as well as bidets, heated towel racks, hairdryers, shower/tub combos or walk-in showers, and a range of toiletries; some are quite small, while higher-tier rooms offer more space.
